Well, I was only scared of the devil and her dad
So we parked somewhere we knew they'd never look
Naw, I've never seen nothin' like her
Playin' with the flame of her momma's lighter
Naw, it wasn't very long 'fore I was hooked

Heaven was a preachers spot
In that first church parkin' lot
Her hangin' onto me like a cross on a rearview does
Her eyes were blue, the words were red
On that half pack of cigarettes
At seventeen, that's what hallelujah was
Life wasn't heavy in the back of that chevy
Me, her and the holy ghost
Something about us, hell of a rush
Fallin' in love, lightin' up them holy smokes

They'd run us off but we'd come runnin' back
And we'd pick up where we left off the night before
She said: How pissed off would your momma be
If we walked in there and you married me?
Even if we never made it through them old wood doors
Heaven was a preachers spot
In that first church parkin' lot
Her hangin' onto me like a cross on a rearview does
Her eyes were blue, the words were red
On that half pack of cigarettes
At seventeen, that's what hallelujah was
Life wasn't heavy in the back of that chevy
Me, her and the holy ghost
Something about us, hell of a rush
Fallin' in love like nothing, holy smokes
Nothin' 'bout those nights felt like sinnin'
Jesus forgives but I can't forget when
Heaven was a preachers spot
In that first church parkin' lot
Her hangin' onto me like a cross on a rearview does
Her eyes were blue, the words were red
On that half pack of cigarettes
At seventeen, that's what hallelujah was
Life wasn't heavy in the back of that chevy
Me, her and the holy ghost
Something about us, hell of a rush
Fallin' in love like nothing, holy smokes
